Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was displeased when he heard about his brother's Twitter rant after his team's loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.

Marcus Vick sent a flurry of tweets to his 11,000 followers during the game. He demanded his brother's trade out of Philly, profanely criticized the team's offensive line and questioned the team's progress since 2010.

When Michael was told about the comments by a reporter, he sounded disappointed. From CSNPhilly.com:

"He tweeted that during the game? I'm sorry. I'm unaware of that. That's something I'm really going to have to address once I leave here. We're out there fighting as hard as we can, giving it everything we've got, and that's certainly not the case. I love each and every guy in that locker room, and if I could make every play right I would. I know they would do the same, so that's certainly not the case."

Wait, wait, wait: Marcus Vick isn't handling all contract negotiations and trade discussions for his brother? This seems shortsighted on the part of the Vick family. It was always said that Marcus had a chance to be better than his brother and I just assumed they were talking in terms of legal acumen.

Update: Marcus Vick has apologized on Twitter for his rant.

"I love my brother and it's hard as hell to watch him taking all those shots, but I'm sorry if I offended anyone and definitely didn't mean to put Mike in a tough spot," Marcus tweeted. "I'm not only watching as a fan, I'm watching as his blood."
